International Reputation

The materials engineering graduate program at the University of Dayton provides state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge topics and real-world research opportunities in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI). The program accommodates students from a wide range of academic and technical backgrounds and attracts full- and part-time students nationally and internationally. We maintain a position of "front-line" leadership in materials engineering.
